Never have been, doubt I ever will be.
BUT, I have discovered how much I like to walk! I achieved a HUGE goal for myself last weekend. I walked (jogged a little) my first 1/2 marathon. It felt great! I didn't do it for anyone else but myself! I want to prove to myself that I could push myself.
A few months ago, I joined a local walking group, the Sole Sisters! I did a great consistent job of meeting the group but then May hit with baseball and life! So i hardly walked. But, I did not want to give up! I still wanted to achieve this and so I did it!
It helped to have my great friend, Carmen by my side! We helped each other get through it! I am very proud of us. I know this will not be our last 1/2 marathon.
It was the Helvetia 1/2 Marathon so it was a beautiful walk with a big burger at the end.

Congrats Erica!! I am so proud of you for not giving up when life got in the way. :-) This is a huge accomplishment! Enjoy your rest and I can't wait to hear about more of your goals! Love ya!
Way to go! What a great accomplishment! So have you picked a Friday to get together? Mom says she isn't free on a Friday until mid July, so we better pick a date soon before she books up. That crazy lady and her social calendar! ;-) Congrats again on the walk!
13.5 Miles wow, that's great. I know I couldn't do it. I really need to get back into shape, sometime soon- It's so hard to put myself first with 2 needy boys! Maybe when they start school! Have a great summer.
That's fantastic Erica! Good for you to get out there and do it. I loved training for the half marathon I ran a couple of years ago. Amazing. Such a great accomplishment! Love the pics of you and Carmen.
